First sets outshining second sets?

Whatever show the Vegas DVD is from. That first set demolishes the second.

9-30-00....both sets are equally average (great) Phish.

browsing my official releases, LP 5, 11, and 17 might qualify

i agree with whoever said 11-17-97.......first set one of my favorite sets ever......5 songs, two real funky jams (tweez and ghost) and a long beautiful one (reba), and two nice short songs (train song and fire) to make it a perfect set

Set 1: Camel Walk, 555 > Rift, Cities -> Light > Simple -> Timber (Jerry) > Wading in the Velvet Sea, Reba[1], Chalk Dust Torture

is more fun than

Set 2: Golden Age -> Prince Caspian > Halfway to the Moon, Joy, 46 Days -> Twenty Years Later > Julius, Harry Hood

in this posters opinion.

I don't think I am speaking out of turn when I say:

7.25.2017
SET 1: Sample in a Jar, Lawn Boy [1] > My Friend, My Friend[2] > Stash, Bathtub Gin

SET 2: Fuego > Thread > Crosseyed and Painless > Makisupa Policeman -> End of Session[3] > Tuesday > Cavern

ENCORE: Julius > Lawn Boy

I still think the C&P is the jam of the night, a 5 song first set is really something special.

I will also make an arguement for:

9.2.2017
SET 1: Simple > Martian Monster > Reba, Sand, Crazy Sometimes > Limb By Limb > Wolfman's Brother, Walls of the Cave

SET 2: Everything's Right > Fuego > Steam > Chalk Dust Torture > Mike's Song > Winterqueen > What's the Use? > Weekapaug Groove, Slave to the Traffic Light

ENCORE: The Lizards, Run Like an Antelope
